PillarHall’s mission is to extend Moore’s law by enabling fast R&D for 3D microelectronic devices and thus especially vertical scaling in semicon. PillarHall Test Chip enables to see cross-sections of 3D microstructures without cross-sectioning and without delay and only in a price point of a test chip. PillarHall is looking for investors at Slush 2017.

Human Thermal Sensor (HTS) is a new paradigm for individual control of thermal environment. This smart control concept is able to define optimal temperature set-point for an individual by monitoring current space parameters (i.e., temperatures, air flow velocity, and relative humidity) and occupant data (activity level and clothing).

Safety, security, and well-being can be improved by introducing new features for future garments. For example, by tracking workers on a construction site we can generate on-line warnings in case of somebody approaching dangerous zones, functional garments can improve thermal satisfaction and working performance of outdoor workers, and movement sensors can detect both accidents (enabling automated alarms) and trajectories (for athletes and physiotherapists).

VTT’s unique hyperspectral imaging technology enables novel products for diverse applications - from high-performance space imaging to volume-scalable mobile sensing. The team has a track-record of creating award-winning new products with several start-ups. Read more at

This project is an exploration of mycelium using different types of fungi mixed with other natural agents like bacterial cellulose, nanocellulose and wood. The result, new kind of fungal materials and pigments with different properties, could serve as a sustainable alternative for the creation of accessories or household objects in the future. Designed and created by Manuel Arias Barrantes (Aalto University) in close collaboration with VTT.
